Asian Cole Slaw

When I typically think of Asian cuisine I think of high fat buffet items that have been deep fried and covered in rich delicious sauces. It has been my goal to bring some of those Asian flavors into a healthier light within our menus. With summer here in full swing and barbecues happening every weekend I love taking the time to make delicious and satisfying dishes that don’t zap all of my daily calories. One of our family favorites is this Asian inspired Cole Slaw. With the core ingredients remaining the same, it is easy to add a few extra ingredients to make this a full meal in itself or to adapt for your families tastes. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do.
